Trust us. The Hamilton rabbit hole is almost as good at the Pentatonix one. You won't experience anything even remotely close to anything like it. Hamilton just hits different.
As a HUGE Pentatonix fan (I met them back in 2016) Hamilton is better. PTX has amazingly beautiful arrangements but Hamilton has so much more. It is the greatest musical ever written. The lyrical complexity and rhythms, all the historic/broadway/hip hop references, the recurring musical themes for each character. It changes the whole game.
Oh, CB, jump in with both feet, the lyricism of this show is STELLAR. As a rapper, you will find SO MUCH to appreciate about how Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the songs. Doubles upon triples, call backs and subtle current-day references. A TON of material to analyze.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Hamilton! I truly hope you cover every single track on this soundtrack. It is a masterpiece. I had it on repeat for a solid two years after the release. I am so excited to see your breakdown of this. Oooooooo, it's gonna be great!
Subbed in the hope you do Hamilton. This is a "sung through" musical. The album gives you everything you need. The story is compelling. The music is the best mash up EVER! Musical theater, R&B, Jazz, British Pop, Hip Hop and Rap. But it's all original. The musical themes attach to each character, so it's pretty easy to follow who is singing/rapping. You absolutely MUST. Can you just listen to the tracks? Some are very short. Group as makes sense, but do "Helpless" and "Satisified" together. There are six actors that play the same part end-to-end. Alexander Hamilton Aaron Burr King George George Washington Angelica Schyler Eliza Schyler Hamilton Four actors play one role in Act 1, and another in Act 2. That's the only potential confusion, but the songs styles are very different. Marquis de Lafayette / Thomas Jefferson Hercules Mulligan / James Madison John Laurens / Phillip Hamilton Peggy Hamilton / Maria Renyolds You have a GREAT ear. You have fabulous musical knowledge. You are going to 'get' it! I suspect you are going to love it. Professionally, you NEED this reference point. The soundtrack was produced by the Hamilton team and Questlove and Blackthought. It was the number 5 selling Rap Album of 2017. It's been in the top 20 best selling Rap albums every year from 2018 - 2022. It's sold/streamed over 5,000,000 units.

Omg... i discovered knox through Hamilton reactions!!! Actually I think I discovered reaction channels in general... do hamilton is amazing!!! So much to break down. 😊
I hate rap, I hate musicals, I'm usually very bored by history. Yet Hamilton is the only thing not personal to me to ever make me cry and I love it for that.
You gotta watch the whole thing! 👏 👏 Pretty please! ?! Lin-Manuel Miranda is a freaking genius, and managed to craft a work of art that is educational, comical, and heartbreaking, while paying homage to rap/hip-hop icons, the British Invasion (the musical one in the 1960’s), traditional Broadway/musical theatre numbers, and composing beautiful ballads. It’s filled with double entendres and callbacks. And the performances are incredible 🤯 (particularly those of Leslie Odom, Jr. and Chris Jackson).
Ok I hope you listen to more Hamilton BUT have you ever listened to Daveed Diggs’s music? He’s Jefferson here, the first guy in the cabinet battle ha. Would love to see your thoughts on some of his stuff! Some suggestos if you want em: Fresh From the Hood, Taking Off (by clipping.), and Breathe - breathe doesn’t have a studio version as far as I’m aware, there’s just a vid of him performing it at a charity event
Definitely watch the whole thing! I’d watch alll the reactions. I’d suggest watching the whole thing for a reaction, you could always break it up to post? Much love.
You mentioned the slavery reference, but did you catch Jefferson's reference to the whiskey rebellion? 😉 Please watch the whole thing! You will appreciate the lyricism, and we'll appreciate your new perspective 😊
Please do more Hamilton! Absolutely not just for theater people. Imo this isn’t even one of the best songs. Lin’s writing is crazy, both the raps and songs. And there are double meanings and references in a lot of them. They’re written as regular rap songs. I never saw anything like it.
I was never the musical kind of person... The only other musical i genuinely enjoy is Sweeney Todd, but it's cool as Hell being able to learn geopolitics from a musical with rap lol
I didn't want to press the issue but it would be dope if you did watch/listen to each song from the Hamilton Musical and react to them. I think it would be a good time for you and HamStans alike. You may kick yourself for holding off so long ...

Humbly, better.

Hamilton is THE BEST
I still haven't gotten over my Hamilton/Pentatonix/Test Drive/Nemo Egg phase and I don't think I ever will
Hamilton is my shit. Pentatonix is repellent.
Bro, that whole play is lyrically insane! Watch the whole thing and tell me what you think!
You're gonna love this whole thing. It's insane and emotional.
Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius.

Oh, you ABSOLUTELY need to watch the whole thing!!
And if you do it as a reaction, we'll be here for it.
After you watch/listen to the whole soundtrack, then dive into the Hamilton mixed tape
Omg... i discovered knox through Hamilton reactions!!! Actually I think I discovered reaction channels in general... do hamilton is amazing!!! So much to break down. 😊
Hamilton is a MASTERPIECE.
Even if one doesn't like it, there is so much the learn from it as a music lover. Not to say songwriter.
I agree very much!
Guns and Ships if you’re gonna start on a Hamilton rabbit hole, unless you just go song by song… you won’t be disappointed
Cliff. Watch the whole damn thing! It’s brilliant!
Cabinet Battle #2 is even better! You should react to the whole thing track-by-track.
Yes! Start from the beginning. Go track by track.
With your background, I’m surprised you have t seen Hamilton. It’s amazing
Check out “wrote my way out” from the Hamilton Mixtape with Nas and dave east
Hamilton is AMAZING....and this is from a guy who isn't a rap fan. Worth watching.
I hate rap, I hate musicals, I'm usually very bored by history.
Yet Hamilton is the only thing not personal to me to ever make me cry and I love it for that.
You’ll Love Hamilton!!!! It really is THAT good🥰
Definitely watch the whole thing! The dude that plays Hamilton wrote the whole thing! Such a fire play!

The soundtrack from the original performance is fantastic and then the hip hop albums with artists is amazing yoo
YES YES YES!!! I've been waiting for the day you find Hamilton. This is gonna be one hell of a ride my man.
Hamilton is amazing! You definitely should watch.
Just saw this show on Broadway last week. It was unreal
Love Hamilton, it is genius level writing!
Yo if you watch it and like it Hamilton is coming to Chicago live in January
Yeah, you WANT to experience it
Ok I hope you listen to more Hamilton BUT have you ever listened to Daveed Diggs’s music? He’s Jefferson here, the first guy in the cabinet battle ha. Would love to see your thoughts on some of his stuff!

Broooo!!!!!
I was jist here yesterday! On Chicago My GF took me
Dood it was actually amazing if you haven't been there Cliff
Just bringing the up again. Please watch the whole thing Cliff. We here for it
Hamilton!!! Yay. ❤
Duuuuuude, Hamilton is fucking sick - especially from a hip-hop perspective. Listen to it, start to finish.
The whole play is absolutely amazing and definitely worth checking out! This was fun ❤❤
I love love love love Hamilton, its awesome. Knox reacted to the whole thing.
And Knox did a great job. I watched it live, and a few times since.
Definitely watch the whole thing! I’d watch alll the reactions. I’d suggest watching the whole thing for a reaction, you could always break it up to post? Much love.
Lin Was Inspired By The West Wing Amongst Many Other Things, There Are So Many Interwoven Parts!! ❤️🎭
I forgot the gentleman’s name, I have not seen the whole show, but what I have seen he’s brilliant.❤️❤️👵🏼
Hamilton is so good!
PLEASE watch/listen to more of Hamilton. You haven't even scratched the surface, my dude.
Lin Manual Miranda knows his history and this musical is genius.
Don't sleep on Weird Al's parody Hamilton Polka either. Weird Al's actually had a big influence on Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Lin Manuel Miranda is freaking AMAZING.
Nothing i listen to more than hamilton every song hits
I NEED MORE HAMILTON NOWWWW PLEASEEE. oh and also more XG please i beg
how has this man never reacted to Hamilton???
The whole show is 🔥🔥, but I think "My Shot" will really impress you.
React to the whole thing! It's so great!
Please please watch all the songs. You'll love it!
I would have never have heard of hamilton if it wasn't for your channel , great pick @Sassy
OMG I am on board for the full thing!!!
Im here for the Patreon of the whole show!
would LOVE to see a deep dive on the entire musical!!!
Hooked me too. Heading to watch it now.
I’m not a huge musical guy but this is a masterpiece. I’ve listened to the whole album so many times
You mentioned the slavery reference, but did you catch Jefferson's reference to the whiskey rebellion? 😉
Please watch the whole thing! You will appreciate the lyricism, and we'll appreciate your new perspective 😊
Yeah you need to see it. And Daveed Diggs and Clipping is someone I'd love to see react to.
Definitely cover each song then watch the play. Already being familiar with the music will help you to focus on how the staging adds to the music.
Do it, do it, do it.!!!
I'd love to see you do a play through of Hamilton!
Please watch this in its entirety soooooooon!! 😫
YEEESSS MORE THIS PLS!
YOU NEED TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING AND REACT TO IT !
Please do more Hamilton! Absolutely not just for theater people. Imo this isn’t even one of the best songs. Lin’s writing is crazy, both the raps and songs. And there are double meanings and references in a lot of them. They’re written as regular rap songs. I never saw anything like it.
I was never the musical kind of person...
The only other musical i genuinely enjoy is Sweeney Todd, but it's cool as Hell being able to learn geopolitics from a musical with rap lol
Watch the whole damn thing
Jump into the Ham rabbit hole. You'll never regret it.
please do hamilton…. please
My darling Cliff did you finally watched the movie or already went to theater? pls pls pls let us know. It will be amazing to watched with you here.
Just watch the musical or at least start at the top!!! Our history buff friend Knox did an amazing reaction to thos
Hamilton full reaction when? lol
Cliff you gotta react to all of Hamilton
if you watch it, just remember there are liberties taken (for example, Hamilton's father-in-law was a slave-owner - Hamilton was NOT an abolitionist.)
I didn't want to press the issue but it would be dope if you did watch/listen to each song from the Hamilton Musical and react to them. I think it would be a good time for you and HamStans alike. You may kick yourself for holding off so long ...
This is just "what if ERB, but good?"
I dont actually like the reall man Hamilton nor his policies, but I LOVE this musical!
Hello everybody
#Algoboost
Please do more hamilton
